US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged gasoline retailers on Tuesday to lower prices as the US celebrates its 250th birthday, reinforcing President Donald Trump’s message with a warning that “we’re watching.”
“I would encourage all the gasoline retailers, some of them are owned by Big Oil, some are independent, some are international convenience chains,” Bessent said in an interview with Fox News. “I would encourage them to be good actors, especially in the 250th anniversary, because we’re watching.” Bessent reprised his boss’s threat to gas stations on Monday to lower prices immediately or face “big problems.”
